The story
Adventure Co., Ltd., which operates the comparison and booking site “skyticket,” announced on October 9, 2026 that unauthorized access to its systems resulted in a leak — or suspected leak — of users’ personal information. The number of potentially affected records is said to exceed 14 million. On 5ch’s News Flash+ forum, posters pointed to the string of recent data breaches at Japanese companies happening around the same time, warned of the danger of secondary damage from reused email addresses and passwords, and voiced frustration with the company’s “apology” response.

What people said
He's probably in pretty rough shape too lol
Sarah Connor's data probably got leaked too, huh
Isn't that basically their entire customer base at this point?
Companies that think saying 'we sincerely apologize' makes everything okay
Users, tremble and sleep (a common ominous meme phrase)
so it's probably going to be a hot seller on the dark web.
Rich people wouldn't bother with Skyticket, they'd book direct…
Do nothing.
That email itself is the scam.
Most people using those sites probably already assume their info will leak sooner or later anyway
Now THAT would be a disaster
Is there really anyone dumb enough to register for porn sites under their real name?
I'm on the list for a few of these companies, but I haven't gotten a single email.
Guess I'm just not affected?
Lawson's notification rate was only about 1 in 10 too
As for 'abuse,' it's only a matter of time before they start saying 'getting scam emails or phone calls doesn't even count as real abuse!' lol
I can already predict it becoming 'complain once you've suffered actual financial damage! Until then you don't even get a QUO card (gift card)!' lol
the kind that say 'please install the Rakuten account protection app.'
My inbox is already so clogged with phishing emails it doesn't even function anymore, so I'll be fine
North Korea? China?
Or someone else entirely?
At this point AI is just doing it on its own
Even high schoolers are hacking with AI these days, so it could honestly be hackers from anywhere in the world
Does the government even realize what's happening?
This might be like January 23, 2020, when the news broke about Wuhan being locked down over COVID
Only a tiny handful of people in Japan have caught on to how bad this is, while the government and the higher-ups have no clue what's going on
Exactly this
What leaked was email addresses and passwords
Most systems use your email as the login ID
and a lot of people reuse the same password everywhere
So say a hacker group logs into a major retailer like Amazon using those emails and passwords,
and floods it with tens of thousands of fake orders —
that retailer would have to shut down order-taking entirely
Society grinds to a halt
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information requires companies to notify affected individuals and report to the Personal Information Protection Commission when a personal data breach occurs, and this “apology and notice” appears to have been issued in line with that requirement. The thread was dominated by anxiety over the recent string of unauthorized-access disclosures from Japanese companies happening in quick succession, along with warnings about the risk of so-called “credential stuffing” attacks given how many people reuse the same email address and password across multiple services. Some posts speculated about a specific country being behind the attacks, but since no official attribution has been announced, that speculation is treated as baseless and not reflected in the main article text.
